Bruma is on Benfica's release list by decision of Marco Silva. The red-and-white coach publicly clarified that the exclusion of the player from the squad is a technical decision and his sole responsibility, during the press conference previewing the game against Moreirense.
Luís Pedro Ferreira analyzed this stance of the coach and wrote in the newspaper A Bola that Marco Silva demonstrates his leadership profile by assuming the decision. The commentator highlighted that in a frequently toxic environment prone to the dilution of responsibilities, assuming the decision brings benefits for the coach's personal authority and for the club's stability.
In Luís Pedro Ferreira's perspective, the way Marco Silva handled the Bruma case reveals transparency that ends up being valued within the locker room. Ferreira considered that leadership in sport is measured both in moments of storm and in moments of calm.
